Reality Fact Check #1
The unpleasantness of the (United Kingdom-based GlaxoSmithKline\'s) drug\'s side effects, including \"involuntary leakage\" of undigested fat, should limit its abuse, said Dr. Howard Eisenson, director of the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, N.C.

Once again the all mighty dollar has, scratch that might have over ruled common sense and replaced it with a few people who will line there own pockets with the money of the desperate, confused and misguided public of which will be mostly women.

Reality Fact Check #3
When taken with meals, orlistat blocks the absorption of about one-quarter of any fat consumed. That fat - the equivalent of about 150 to 200 calories - is passed out of the body in stools, which can be loose or oily as a result. The product does nothing about the fat that is already on your body!
In six-month clinical trials, obese people who took orlistat lost on average 5.3 pounds to 6.2 pounds more than did those who were given dummy pills or less then 120 calories a day, the equilivant of walking the dog for 30 minutes however the The proposed over-the-counter orlistat pill, called Alli (pronounced "ally"), would contain half the dose of the prescription capsule, or now walking the dog for 15 minutes.
